Salsa Dancing (at an improv theater? Yes, And!)

What? Why is this here?? You do an improv comedy show!

Yeah, that’s true. But, when I moved to Los Angeles just before the year 2000, I relocated for 3 reasons: 1) My 2 best friends lived in LA 2) To pursue a career in voiceover and 3) The salsa dancing was better in Los Angeles than San Francisco. That’s right…one of my main reasons of moving to LA was to salsa dance…

Once I was introduced to ballroom dance in college, I was hooked with dancing. I continued to study throughout all my years there and then, when I lived in Orange County for a brief time, studied ballroom and competed (amateur status). One day, I was invited to a salsa club with friends and the moment I saw people moving to the Latin beats, I said “well, there goes ballroom!”

Once I moved to Los Angeles, I became an obsessive salsa dancer: dancing 5 nights a week, taking as many classes in the same timeframe, scheduling my vacations around salsa events, travelling to Puerto Rico to dance at the Puerto Rico Salsa Congress, collecting as much salsa instructional media as I could. For the first 4 years in my apartment, I had NO FURNITURE in the living room so I could use the room only as a dance floor!

I’ve taught salsa to people at corporate events, to friends, to improv students and to other dancers.

If you want to add this fun, unique and - dare I say it - spicy dance to your event or festival, I would be glad to share my love of this partner dance with you.

Unlike a lot of other classes, this class can be for AS MANY PEOPLE AS CAN FIT (and move) IN THE VENUE!
